VERSE 1 — THE HUSTLE
Wake up early, put your feet on the ground,
Hustle for your future, let success be found.
Sell your goods, learn a skill,
Work with a plan and climb that hill.
No shame in the hustle, no shame in the grind,
Use your hands, use your heart, use your mind.
Start with a little, let your business grow,
Step by step, now you run the show!

VERSE 2 — MONEY TALKS
When your pockets are empty, some turn away,
When your money comes, they want to stay.
Your voice gets heard, new doors appear,
But watch who loves you when money is here.
Money pays rent, money buys food,
Money can help when the times are rude.
School fees, treatment, a roof overhead,
Money can ease the worries in your head.
But money cannot buy every heart,
True love and character play their part.
Earn it honestly, never lose your soul,
Build your wealth and remain in control.
LEAD: Respect!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: Opportunity!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: True love!
CROWD: HEART!
LEAD: Good character!
CROWD: RESPECT!
BRIDGE — DEEP VOICE, MINIMAL BEAT
My brother, keep moving!
My sister, keep striving!
Don't bury your dreams;
Keep your future alive!
Make money!
Save money!
Invest money!
Enjoy life!
LEAD: Are we working?
CROWD: YES!
LEAD: Are we rising?
CROWD: YES!
LEAD: Are we enjoying?
CROWD: YES!
ALL: MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
FINAL VERSE — THE WORLD IS UNFAIR
The world is unfair to the poor,
Sometimes they close every door.
They judge your pockets, they don't know your pain;
They never ask why you're struggling again.
Nobody asks where your poverty came from,
They see empty pockets and think you are done.
So learn, work hard, and do what you can,
Build your future with an honest plan.
Make money, my people, but don't lose your way;
Enjoy what you earn while you live each day.
Help your family, let your children rise,
Build something lasting before your time flies.
LEAD: Work!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: Make!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: Eat!
CROWD: ENJOY!
LEAD: Live!
CROWD: WITH DIGNITY!
OUTRO — FINAL BASS DROP
The world is very unfair to the poor.
If you can, do everything possible and honest to make money.
Because when you are poor,
Nobody asks where your poverty came from.
LEAD: Work for money!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: Make money!
CROWD: MONEY!
LEAD: Eat on it!
CROWD: ENJOY!
MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
